In the tradition of James Hillman, Thomas Moore, Robert Bly, and Joseph Campbell, one of the greatest Jungian psychoanalysts of our time tackles one of life’s most central questions: How do we find real contentment?

Most people believe they’ll somehow achieve contentment just as soon as they get a job, find a more satisfying relationship, buy a bigger home, retire, or attain some other worldly goal. In this groundbreaking book Robert A. Johnson and Jerry M. Ruhl show how to move beyond the inevitable frustrations of this ego-centred approach to happiness - and find true contentment by opening our lives to a deeper layer of experience. Through myths, stories, and fresh Jungian insights, they explain how we can infuse our everyday lives with a sense of the sacred - and enjoy real, lasting happiness.
